Are you on 12B? I don't think the official TWRP is Loki patched for 12B. I patched one to work on both 11A and 12B if you want the link. I've read you can also just extract the recovery IMG from the zip and flash it with Flashify if you wanna try that.

Yep I'm on 12b can I have a Link plz thank you for your help

I got 2.7 by using this recovery image Flashify method about two weeks ago. I haven't had any issues and have been TWRPin as usual.

I used Flashify too and have no issues.

Flashing is fine but I read with my other devices that backups from previous versions of TWRP may not work properly.

2.6.3.3 backups won't work on 2.7 and vice versa
Sent from my VS980 4G

I love TWRP 2.7.0.0 due to the vibrating feedback and the correct date imprint on backup names.

I'm on VS98012B. Had TWRP 2.6.3.3. Needed to update to TWRP 2.7 to move up to KK. I tried dd flashing the 2.7 from TWRP site. Now some error (too quick to see) comes up and shuts the phone off. Tried flashing with dd this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51173763&postcount=4 and got the same error. Tried Flashify and it won't load the image file and when I go to the backup tab it says I have TWRP 2.6.3.3 installed. Any ideas how I can get a custom recovery installed? I'm pretty much dead in the water...

You have 2.6.3.3 installed now right? If so just flashing mine in recovery will work fine. No need to dd them, probably wouldn't work anyway because in order to to change images in the ramdisk, I have to un-Loki them. Loki'd images can't be unpacked. So after I make changes, I repack and place them in a zip with a Loki patch that works on 11a or 12b. So mine are just to be flashed in recovery.

I think that's because you tried to flash an unloki'd image. Try flashing this one with Flashify https://www.dropbox.com/s/meddqewk6muv8p5/twrp.img. Its preloki'd and version 2.6.3.3 or.4, if it works you can just flash any of the ones from my thread in recovery to update to 2.7. There's a stock on there too if you don't want a themed one.

Try wiping app data on Flashify. And make sure its granted root access.
If all else fails you can try to dd the twrp.img I linked. I don't get why Flashify isn't working though. I've never had that issue. I had someone in my S3 thread that kept having Flashify issues. He used this app and it worked. You could try it too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools

Help installing TWRP 2.7 on new G2 with 12B

I have downloaded a TWRP 2.7 flashable zip. The official instructions on the TWRP site talk about using a .img file, but they don't have a 2.7 img for vs980.
Many threads mention some images are Lokified, others are not, I'm not sure how to install.
This is a new G2 with 12B that I'm going to root with IORoot 25, how can I get TWRP installed on it as well, preferably in same adb session?
Thanks

Is this the right way?
flash older 2.6.3.2 img using Flashify
reboot into recovery
flash 2.7 zip
Is there a faster way to do this?

Can someone please help?

Root with ioroot
Flashify has its own download section, I would download the .IMG file in the app, just to make sure you have the correct one.
Follow directions in flashify.
I just did this with cwm and it worked, it might have the latest twrp to flash in the app.

If you just want the easiest method, do this:
Extract twrp.lok from this thread. (first download twrp.zip...the .lok file is in there) Rename the extension to img. Flash that with flashify. Then flash this in recovery. You should now be on twrp 2.7 loki'd for 12b. :good:
Credit for that procedure goes to JRJ442...i just explained his steps from here.

Will this method work if I already have TWRP 2.6.3.3? My goal is: get to TWRP 2.7 but tried to go into TWRP and flash the "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-vs980.zip", it tells me I can't because it can't find "/tmp/loki.sh" (couldn't capture exact message). Currently I'm on 12B.

Yeah the official that you tried doesn't have the correct Loki patch for 12B. Thats why it throws that message. All the ones I made for VS980 are patched to work on 11A or 12B. Just click on "This" a few posts up. That goes to my Dropbox. The zip is Stock-TWRP2.7-VS980. Just flash in recovery, then reboot recovery and it'll be 2.7
Or if you have Flashify you can download and install 2.7 through that.

These one click tools worked for me. I went from 12b + stock recovery to twrp 2.7 with just a few clicks. I used it yesterday. Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713954

Original Thread for SuperSU : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 Root Nexus 5 Lollipop 5.0.1

Hey!
Thanks a lot. Really helped solve my problem!

No problem

This doesn't belong in Development.

Actually i am not sure where should this be.. I'd request modders to please move it to the correct board!

Thanks man!

Since you've probably lost your custom recovery upgrading to 5.0.1, you can grab the TWRP images for Nexus 5 here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead
I believe you need to use 2.8.1.0 since 2.8.2.0 either doesn't work or is causing problems for many users.

Isn't CF-Auto root adding files from the 5.0 release over the 5.0.1 ? Isn't it safer to wait for a 5.0.1 autoroot?

How did you update from a rooted (with CF-Auto Root) 5.0 to 5.0.1 you just received the OTA and installed it without any problems ?
I like to know because i am on 5.0 stock just rooted with CF_Auto root.

So no more need for CF-Auto?
Just flashing SuperSU zip with TWRP is enough?

I flashed a Custom Rom Using TWRP which doesn't have any root permission...

Guys, i installed the 5.0.1 update by fastboot flashing system, boot and radio. I lost my custom recovery tho (CWR). I now tried to install TWRP, but after flashing the recovery image, the recovery still hasnt changed. Could i just flash CRW or should i use TWRP for this version?

This. I flash with it here since 4.4.4 and it did everything just fine. Not only it is an app to automatically root, but it gives very good hints, and provides lots of others features like installing Apks, getting a adb prompt, and so much more. Greatest third party Android app I have tried. Highly recommended, didn't even had to wait they update it for 5.0.1, as soon I got the 5.0.1 OTA notification, Nexus Root Toolkit was already ready for it.

This is lollipop security, custom recover wouldn't stick, after each reboot it will replaced with stock one, of course there is a way to make it sticky just search the forum.

Am I missing it or is knock code still not here? Is it in the manual ota method or neither? Any ways thanks for the Rom because grola was starting to mess up.

So, I'm on the forced OTA 39A and everything is running great, I also just rooted it using this method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
Anyway to install TWRP onto this yet? I did a stupid thing and installed AutoRec and flashed recovery just to try it, and it worked fine. Until I rebooted out of recovery, then I got the dreaded LG Security Error. So I had to restore back to 27A and go back to 39A.

This is a bit of a guess, so proceed at your own risk, but could you use AutoRec to install recovery, then once in recovery, flash the 39A bootstack from this thread, which also contains a bumped TWRP? I'm thinking the patched kernel that AutoRec installs is what's breaking things
Don't do this. Doesn't work

Well, I just spent the last few hours re-setting up my device again, but I'll try it. Might as well, if it doesn't work I'll just re-do everything again lol. I wish I would of known that the bootstack for 39A was available, I would of tried it then but oh well. Will let you know how it goes.

Nope, just tried it. After installing the recovery then the bootstack I restart and I get secure booting error boot certification verify and the only thing I can do is get back into recovery, so no good.

Well thanks for being the guinea pig at least. In retrospect, AutoRec loki's your boot.img, but those bootstack zips don't include a bumped boot.img (since they are rom specific I think) so you get the security error still. I'll leave this up to the experts from now on

All else fails, and you still want to be the closest to stock 39a with root and recovery, I suppose you could just wipe, flash the 27A bootstack, flash this 39A ROM, then flash the 39A bootstack (should't need to KDZ or anything assuming you're still able to get into TWRP). According to this post the differences in this rom and stock are the basically the components that we couldn't pull before root was available, but now they're availabe and in that bootstack zip - once again, no guarantees though, I think I'll try to be patient and wait for the devs to release something

You can't install the recovery because you need the 4.4 aboot. You can adb the the 27A aboot.img through a terminal on your pc or on your phone, then adb blastagator's recovery, and you will be able to have recovery. I'm running twrp no problems right now.
EDIT:
Need a bumped boot.img too. I was bootlooping until I applied one.

Where did you get the bumped boot.img from? Also, all the bootloader files in the resource thread are bins, not imgs, does that matter?
To get to stock rooted 39A with TWRP, it sounds like the process is:
-manually apply 39A OTA
-root using new exploit
-push 27A (or 28A) aboot
-push bumped 39A boot.img
-push TWRP

Yeah, either 27A or 28A (confirmed by xdabbeb) should work. I bumped the 39A boot image myself (not hard to do, the info. is readily available on how to do it).
Just change the .bin to .img.

Thank you so much, this worked perfectly!

How can I install Xposed framework without TWRP?

I have tried via Flashify but cannot get it to work. I'm used to doing everything via TWRP but I know it is not an option at this time.
Any thoughts? How to install Xposed without TWRP? Currently on rooted ZV6.

Flashify only works if you have a custom recovery. AFAIK you can't flash the framework without it

Flashfire works without recovery.

That's the exact reason Flashfire was made.

Got it working!
I was able to get it done via Flashfire. A bit difficult to find the app initially, but WORKS like a CHARM! Rooted with Xposed, fully working and tweaked to the gills.
I don't know if it is against the rules to post the Flashfire link.

Follow the instructions on this thread:

In addition you can download v79 instead of v74 as the instructions suggest and it will work fine.
